CVE-2026-85709: lightrag-hku: Sensitive Information Exposure Through Raw Exception Messages in API Error Responses

September 22, 2026

The LightRAG API server passes raw Python exception messages directly into HTTP error responses across 30+ error handlers in every router. When combined with the default unauthenticated configuration (see companion report on CWE-306), any network-reachable client can trigger exceptions whose raw text discloses internal infrastructure — server filesystem paths, database host/port/user, LLM provider error details, and Python library internals. No global exception handler sanitizes error messages before they reach the client.
